Description

  • The majority voted against a motion that would have amended the normal [second reading](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html) motion, which is *that the bill be read for a second time*. Agreeing to read a bill for a second time is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. After this vote, the House can discuss the bill in more detail.
  • The amendment to the normal second reading motion was introduced by Labor MP [Joel Fitzgibbon](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/hunter/joel_fitzgibbon).
  • ### What was the amendment?
  • > *That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:*
  • > *"whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House notes that a distracted Turnbull Government has failed to implement effective policies in a timely manner to ensure that Australian agriculture is achieving its full potential."*
